LOCAL TELEVISION OUT; LOCAL RADIO OUT; MANDATORY CREDIT

A pickup truck plowed into a group of bicyclists including children along a western Michigan road, killing at least five people with a weekly riding group, according to local reports.

Cops apprehended a driver fleeing the crash site near Cooper Township about three miles north of Kalamazoo Tuesday evening.

A witness, who narrowly missed being struck, saw the driver hit least eight bicyclists with the bike club, WOOD-TV reported.

"I stepped back, blacked out for a second, turned around and before I could say 'watch out' to the bikers, it happened," the witness told the TV station. 

The extent of the injuries are unknown at this time.

Extensive surgery was required to get rid of the NF, one which involved the removal of her abdominal muscles. As she lay in intensive care, it was becoming clear that her physical ability would never be the same again.
